While their united prayers were ascending in faith to Heaven, the answer came. The place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were filled with the Holy Ghost. They went forth to their work, speaking the Word of God with convincing power, and there were daily large additions to the church. Great numbers had collected at Jerusalem to observe the sacred feast. The exciting scenes of the crucifixion and resurrection had called out a much larger number than usual. When the truth taught by the apostles was brought suddenly and with convincing power before them, thousands were converted in a day. {3SP 282.2}

Når deres forenede bønner steg i tro op til himlen, kom svaret. Stedet de var samlet på blev rystet, og de blev fyldt med Helligånden. De gik ud til deres arbejde, talte om Guds ord med en overbevisende kraft, og der blev dagligt føjet nogen til menigheden. Store skarer (283) havde samlet sig i Jerusalem for at holde den hellige fest. Korsfæstens og opstandelsens oprørende scenerier havde kaldet mange flere ud en sædvanligt. Da apostlene underviste i sandheden kom der pludselig og overbevisende kraft for dem, og tusindvis blev omvendt hver dag.
